    Susan Boyle - Britain's got talent

    Read on another forum that 'talent' producers are livid that she has had her hair dyed. Apparently she thought she looked too frumpy and grey haired when she saw herself on TV so at her monthly visit to her local hairdressers this week she had it coloured.

    itching, painful, tingling feet!

    Since I started lowering my BS my neuropathy has become considerably more painful - socks are to be worn only when essential. As you say, it can be particularly bad during the night. Podiatrist told me nerves would need time to adjust to new levels, but pain would ease eventually. Now have...

    Dangerous advice??

    We were talking about about developments in my neuropathy - I was told to expect more pain as my BS levels fell. I told him they were falling nicely thanks to my following a low carb diet. This is when I thought he was going to explode and he started firmly lecturing me on how as a diabetic I...

    retinopathy effect? really disturbing

    Hi, I have suffered something similar for many years now - distorted vision, chevrons, usually green flashing lights - it is very debilitating. My GP at the time said it was a form of migraine - only without the thumping headache. I don't get it every day, possibly 3 or 4 times a month, and I...

    Dangerous advice??

    Welcome along Davey I was diagnosed last April - wasn't told any blood results, just that I was diabetic.
